THE STUDIO

Branding is complex. Even beautiful designs miss the mark if not balanced with purpose and meaning.

At Funktional, we believe in the power of simplicity. It solves problems and brings clarity. But simplicity isn’t simple. It’s about going deep so that everything works together clearly and seamlessly. Our approach to each project is guided by this philosophy, beginning with a brand’s purest form – it’s purpose.

Balancing our business savvy with our keen eye for design helps our clients show their strengths and tap into new opportunities.

Our services are designed to ensure you are fitted with an enduring identity that will convey your brand’s message at every interaction.

PRINCIPAL | CREATIVE DIRECTOR

Stacey Funk

The name speaks to my beliefs. Functional as an adjective means to have a special purpose. So, I put the ‘Funk’ in Funktional when this business was founded in 2010 with the goal of creating meaningful brands underpinned with purpose, and shaped by enduring and intentional design. I believe every detail plays an important role while contributing to the impact of a greater whole.

It’s about allowing a brand to shine in all it’s glory. It’s also about helping clients get excited about their business again.

I’ve been living, loving and breathing this thing called brand for over 17 years. What I value most is my long-term relationships with clients and what we’re able to accomplish together. My aim is to offer each client a great collaborative experience, rigorous attention to detail, and never losing sight of the end-goal: to deliver results that help your business soar to new heights.

From research and concepts to developing key messages and visuals, Stacey delivers beautifully. Thank you so much!

Executes beautifully! From the branding, to the materials, website and the ad campaign. We opened our doors at Grand Opening, and we were writing up offers. Well done!

Our new branding and website feels so fresh and current. It's excellent! The staff love it and I believe it has invigorated us all on the team.
